This week is a very bad week for the Virtual Console, as it is the first time that no games have been released for it.

We have however seen the first WiiWare release since the initial launch, and it’s a remake of one of my favourite puzzle games for the DS, dubbed ActionLoop Twist:

Pick your favourite Mii and take control of the Gemstone Launch Pad by twisting the Wii Remote back and forth. The object is to fire Gemstones and make groups of matching colours disappear before they reach the end of the line.

Jump straight into the action with Quick Play modes for one or two players, put your skills to the ultimate test in Challenge Mode or see if you can survive Quest Mode where every level brings a new way to play!

Or, if you’re in a party mood, try Multiplayer Mode for up to four players! You can play with friends, against the computer or a combination of both. Work together to clear the Gemstones or compete to see who’s the Actionloop Twist master! Actionloop Twist is now available on WiiWare for 1000 Wii Points.

It looks like it is going to be a lot of fun, and I can’t wait to try it out once Mario has collected all of his coins and my Wii Points balance drops another 1000 points!
